This charcoal drawing on paper is based on a self-portrait sculpture by Baccio Bandinelli (1493–1560), one of the most celebrated sculptors of the Italian Renaissance. 

The unknown artist captures Bandinelli’s intense expression with remarkable fidelity, emphasizing his furrowed brow, flowing beard, and commanding gaze. The drawing pays homage to the master sculptor’s ability to convey power and introspection, qualities that defined both his art and his personality.

The original self-portrait sculpture by Bandinelli showcases the artist’s exceptional skill and ambition. Known for monumental works like “Hercules and Cacus” (Piazza della Signoria, Florence), Bandinelli was a dominant figure of Renaissance Florence and a rival to Michelangelo. His self-portrait reflects his confidence and artistic prowess, a declaration of his stature as one of the greats of his era.

This drawing, created by an unknown hand, demonstrates a deep appreciation for Bandinelli’s legacy. The use of fusain (charcoal) lends the portrait depth and texture, echoing the sculptural qualities of the original work. Framed in an elegant carved wooden frame, this piece bridges the worlds of sculpture and draftsmanship, offering a unique perspective on one of the Renaissance’s most compelling figures.

A remarkable addition to any collection, this artwork celebrates the enduring impact of Bandinelli’s artistry and the tradition of studying and reinterpreting great works.
